USER MAINTENANCE
• Always exercise caution when handling
the Griddler
®
Deluxe during cooking.
Open and close the unit using the
handle only. Do not touch the arms or
top cover during or immediately after
cooking, as they become hot during
use. We recommend you wear oven
mitts when handling the Griddler
®
Deluxe to prevent burns.
• Never use metal utensils, which will
scratch the nonstick plates. Instead,
use wooden or heat-proof plastic
utensils.
• Never leave plastic utensils in contact
with the hot grill plates. This includes
the cleaning tool that is included.
• In between recipes, use cleaning/
scraping tool to scrape excess food
buildup through grease channels and
into the drip tray. Wipe off any residue
with a paper towel before proceeding
with next recipe.
• Allow the Griddler
®
Deluxe to cool
down completely (at least 30 minutes)
before cleaning.
• Any other servicing should be
performed by an authorized service
representative.
STORAGE
• Wrap the power cord around the
cord storage clips at the back of
the base.
